Yokai Lyrics by Historian Himself

Junglecat Technique

2015

[Sample]
Chinese kung fu has a long history, going back more than a thousand years
[The Dark Crystal sample]
Another world...
[Historian]
Welcome to my world...
[The Dark Crystal sample]
Another time...
See I was born with an old mountain spirit, shinto yokai from samurai land Japan
I slaughtered a lot of ninjas in my sleep, thought it was a dream
'Til I woke up covered in severed limbs with a bloody katana in my hand
Now I roam as lone ronin slowly recomposing the bones of my prehistoric gorgon clan
Beware my fierce glare
My stare can kill
Turn you to stone where you stand with one glance
Probability you survive in my advanced labyrinth:
Slim chance!
The rusty dirt-encrusted shovel on my shoulder indicate I'll excavate 'til I'm watching terracotta soldiers topple over
I'm hopeful the pyre kindles my corpse 'til it smolders
Aurora borealis
Hover above the mountains, cast glow till every wolves' eyes flicker from cold shadows
Then drag you off into the dark to gnaw bones to the marrow
My poisoned arrows glide silent and silence those who oppose my old alliance with mythic giants
I photosynthesize in a permafrost stunted bonsai forest as mummified artifact bronze age glorious
I've died a thousand times yet I still walk the land and conquer fortresses
My catapults launch urns packed with poisonous poultices resulting in an explosive bursts of carnivorous plant growth
Now your village stands abandoned inhabited only by sad ghosts and gigantic amphibians floating in the stagnant moats
My skin grows moss, possibly because I stomp through swamps with a bucket
Seeking mysterious beasts my flesh leaks poisonous tree sap and luminous insects drink from it
Ominous shark like fins carve through the waves, large fangs, obsidian blades
Deep water creatures beyond chameleon strange
A thousand years of age and still in its first larval phase
Behold, my children
A golden chrysalis awaits
[Sample]
Practice not only strengthens the body, it also serves as excellent concentration for the mind. Most of the movements in kung fu are modelled on various animals...
[David Attenborough Life of Mammals sample]
Until human beings devised weapons for themselves, this was the most powerful killer on earth. The top predator
